The Amazon rainforest is home to more than a third of the species found on Earth. It is also a vital force shaping the world’s weather and climate patterns. Moreover, twenty percent of all fresh water on Earth flows through the basin’s rivers, and these forests are the source of countless foods, fibers, and potential new medicines to benefit humankind. Unfortunately, these forests are facing increasing threats from road development, logging, and large-scale agriculture. ACA is working together with local communities and partner organizations throughout the region
to protect these precious forests for local inhabitants and future
generations.
